Fixing a household door that refuses to close properly, sticks in the frame, or fails to latch shut requires evaluating alignment, hinges, and strike plates. First, check the top and side gaps between the door and frame to identify where it binds. Second, tighten loose hinge screws on the door jamb. Third, if the door sags, replace one longer screw in the top hinge to pull it back into alignment. You can troubleshoot door alignment easily by checking the latch bolt. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when swinging the door closed results in it fitting smoothly into the center of the frame and clicking securely into the strike plate opening without rubbing.
